Pituitary Histology - Adenohypophysis Basophil cells
Based on their hormone products basophils are divided into three subtypes (PAS stain all types reddish).
- Thyrotrophs - produce thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH or thyrotropin).
- Gonadotrophs - produce follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH)
- FSH stimulates in the male seminiferous tubule and female early follicular growth.
- LH stimulates male Leydig cell testosterone production and female oestrogen (estrogen) production, late follicular maturation, formation of corpus luteum.
- Corticotrophs - (or adrenocorticolipotrophs) produce adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH or corticotropin) and lipotropin (LPH).
- cell type in the pars intermedia where ACTH and LPH precursor undergoes hydrolysis into melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH) and other peptides.
Pituitary, sheep - PAS/ORANGE G
Identify basophils, acidophils and chromophobes and verify that the relative frequencies of the cells are different in different parts of the adenohypophysis.
